CROSS COUNTRY
MINISTRIES
Thank you for visiting my site.
My name is Lance Rowe, but the only name that really matters is the name of JESUS CHRIST!
In 1996, the Lord put it on my heart to carry a cross across the United States, from Florida to California. When I mentioned it to Michelle, my wife of 16 years, she was very supportive of the idea. We had already been living on the road in a bus and evangelizing the streets of America since 1988, so this was not an unusual venture. The difference was that I would be carrying a cross as a visual form of evangelism. So we left Crystal River in August of 1996 headed into adventures we couldn't imagine at the time.
We
had 4 children then,
but
on Sept. 4, 1998, the Lord blessed us with our 5th.

WHAT IS CROSS COUNTRY MINISTRIES?
TThe
scope of our ministry is to operate in a visual form of evangelism, as I
carry a ten foot cross throughout the nation.In 1996 I began to follow Hwy. 90 from Crystal River, Florida, to California. Then, on Dec 29, 2001, I began to carry the cross on a prayer walk for our nation up the Mississippi River.
In the course of this ministry, the Lord has given me the opportunity to
train up brothers and sisters in the areas of evangelism and living by faith.
I
have been blessed with the opportunity to establish a ministry in Lafourche
Parish, Louisiana, called "My Brother's Keeper"; an interracial, interdenominational
group of brothers and sisters in the Lord who have a desire to take their
cities for Jesus.
Ours
is a simple ministry:
TO ENCOURAGE THOSE WHO SIMPLY WANT TO MINISTER.
The purpose of this website is to equip and to encourage fellow Christians
to do the work of the ministry.
I intend to include periodic updates as to what's happening "CROSSCOUNTRY"
as well as encouraging news as to the harvest in the areas where I happen
to be.
As I said earlier, since 2001, I have been carrying a cross up the entire Mississippi River, praying for the Body of Christ in America. you can click HEREand then follow the links to read the updates on this walk. JUST A NOTE: THESE FIRST PAGES THAT YOU WILL COME TO ARE BUILT WITH A TRIPOD WEBSITE. WINDOWS WILL POP UP, THAT I DON'T ENDORSE, AND EVENTUALLY AS YOU SCROLL THROUGH THE LINKS FOLLOWING MY WALK UP THE RIVER, YOU WILL COME TO A DEAD END THAT WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO MY TIPOD HOMEPAGE. YOU WILL NEED TO GET BACK TO THIS PAGE TO FIND MORE UPDATES ON THE PRAYER WALK.THERE ARE TWO BUTTONS ON THIS PAGE THAT WILL TAKE YOU TO MY WEB DIRECTORY, WHERE YOU WILL BE ABLE TO FIND THE UPDATES. SOME DAY I INTEND TO CORRECT ALL THIS, BUT IT TAKES TIME, SO I ASK YOU TO BE PATIENT.
But this site isn't just about me...
I'll be introducing you to other brothers and sisters in the Lord, who have
similar ministries to mine.
Plus, there are Bible studies and ideas for outreaches. I hope you enjoy
what you find here.
ATTENTION TO THOSE WHO ARE CALLED TO INTERCESSORY PRAYER AND WORSHIP:
HURRICANE KATRINA WAS INSTRUMENTAL AS A CATALYST FOR BIRTHING A 24/7 PRAYER CENTER IN THE NEW ORLEANS AREA! FOR TWENTY MONTHS, THE PRAYER CENTER WAS UNDER A TABERNACLE TENT WHICH HAD BEEN SET UP IN METAIRIE, LOUISIANA. THIS WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE A CITY ONCE ENTRENCHED IN SIN TO BE TRANSFORMED INTO A LITERAL CITY OF SAINTS. FOR THE MOST PART THE LOCAL CHURCH IN NEW ORLEANS DID NOT RESPOND TO REPEATED INVITATIONS TO PARTAKE IN 24/7 INTERCESSION ON BEHALF OF THE CITY. 2006 SAW NEW ORLEANS ONCE AGAIN RANKED AS THE MURDER CAPITAL OF THE UNITED STATES. ON MAY 30, 2007, THE PRAYER TENT CAME DOWN. TO READ ABOUT THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF THE KATRINA RELIEF EFFORT AND THE 24/7 PRAYER TENT, YOU CAN GO TO CROSSCOUNTRY NEWS MISSISSIPPI PRAYER WALK UPDATETO FIND OUT MORE!
TO READ ABOUT THE 24/7 PRAYER TENT, COMING DOWN, YOU CAN GO TO 24/7 PRAYER TENT COMES DOWNTO FIND OUT MORE!
DURING THE TIME OF THE PRAYER TENT,THE LORD GAVE ME A GLIMPSE OF THE LEAVEN THAT MINISTRIES IN AMERICA HAVE EMBRACED. I WROTE A BOOKLET THAT I DISTRIBUTED EITHER THROUGH E-MAIL OR THROUGH THE POSTAL SERVICE TO APPROXIMATELY 150 PASTORS IN NEW ORLEANS. IF YOU ARE IN MINISTRY, THIS IS A WORD FOR YOU!

THIS WEBSITE IS A CALL FOR CHRISTIANS EVERY WHERE TO WAKE UP! CHRISTIANS! THERE IS A REAL BATTLE GOING ON FOR THE SOUL OF OUR NATION! READ THIS ARTICLE NOW! UNLESS THE CHURCH (YOU) REPENTS OF EMBRACING THE FALSE GOSPELS OF RELIGIOUS TOLERANCE (ALL FAITHS LEAD TO HEAVEN), CHRISTIAN UNIVERSALISM (UNCONDITIONAL ETERNAL SECURITY) CHRISTIAN LIBERALISM (ACCEPTANCE AND TOLERANCE OF BIBLICALLY CORRUPT LIFESTYLES), CHRISTIAN WORLDLINESS [LOVE OF PLEASURES MORE THAN THEIR LOVE FOR GOD] (NAME IT AND CLAIM IT); AND ITS COMPLACENCY AND APATHY, THIS ONCE GREAT NATION IS HEADED FOR IMMINENT DESTRUCTION AND JUDGMENT AT THE HANDS OF GOD HIMSELF! DOES THAT SOUND HARSH? GOD'S JUDGMENT WILL BE EVEN HARSHER. IT IS TIME FOR CHRISTIANS TO AWAKE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS AND STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT. CONTRARY TO BILL CLINTON'S NOW FAMOUS STATEMENT, IT IS NOT THE ECONOMY, "STUPID"! IT IS BECAUSE OF COMPROMISE BEING TAUGHT FROM THE PULPITS, AND A FAMINE OF THE HEARING THE TRUE WORD OF GOD THAT IS SWEEPING THROUGH OUR CHURCHES THAT IS DESTROYING OUR LAND READ THIS . IF YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF TO BE A CHRISTIAN IT IS TIME TO FORSAKE THE FALSE TEACHERS WHO ARE PASSING THE PLATE SO THEY CAN SPREAD THEIR LIES EVEN MORE, AND TO BRING YOURSELF INTO SUBJECTION TO THE WORD OF GOD! IT IS TIME FOR ALL CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE TO REPENT, BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE!
